Just rounded up my 100L. Pretty basic stuffs. Compared to what’s ahead it’s child’s play lol

Had distinctions in all my results so far, apart from English, but again it’s all useless in this coming preclinical stuffs

We all start with clean slates, everyone is equal. No matter how good or bad your 100L results are. In this school, it hardly matters.
That doesn’t mean you should let up your 100L performance tho. It helps to build confidence. You’ll need it.

The journey begins

Will get my textbooks tomorrow. Saw the size of Keith Moore and I was just speechless hahaha
Modern Biology and Ababio gat nothing on this one

Medical texts are just crazy expensive, Keith Moore is like 20k, Guyton and Hall is around 13k.
God help us. You buy these textbooks, you guard them with your life

But again, there’s the option of softcopy which is free and avaliable.

The thing is, softcopy isn’t my style at all. And the basics of medical school is finding what works for you. Only hard copy does it for me. That’s how I just work.
You could be different tho. I know of seniors who haven’t bought a single medical hardcopy text and are spanking their courses like no tomorrow….

I also have to leave this school for home. Xmas don come. Enough of this hostel environment . Have to get home and start thinking of how my next 6-7 years (depending on how ASUU is feeling) is going to be like.

The break between 100L and your preclinical is a very important part of your quest.

God help me

Fellow comrade which institution?

PLS!!!! DON'T ABANDON THIS THREAD....

Also kindly tell us(if you want to) how you got in to keep some aspirants spirit high.

100level is usually not difficult, but mbbs program requires finance

Well, how I got in…
I did jamb twice. My first score was 253. You can only imagine the heart break.
They gave me one course like this because of my low score in both jamb and putme (had 64 in putme)
I rejected the course, went back and hit harder. Also, I joined numerous brainstorming groups. Information is power. You’ll get to hear familiar terms from the mouths of those using different texts.
Also, you’ll get to know your weaknesses and how much you don’t know.

There is no magic formula to it honestly. Just put in smart work, grit and prayers (100% important)

Second jamb score was 324, putme score was 80. So I couldn’t be denied MBBS

Vitamin is here

Legendforte:

100% true
Which is why you have to let your parents know the path you’ve chosen from the moment you gain admission to the uni.
MBBS is an expensive path. A very expensive one. In both finance, time and resources. Even the textbooks alone cost an arm and leg hahahaha

But that’s where scholarships come in. Apply for scholarships like there is no tomorrow. And again, the 100L results will come in play here. Your 100L CGP has to be first class in order for you to have better chances of getting the scholarships.
It’s not rocket science exactly, but it’s a lot of work.
But as DeRock said, we’ll should put in work, and put in the hours to take what’s ours

Thanks!... Can you recomend some solid textbooks that can help one prepare well?(sorry for the crapy questions but next year in going to be my second try and i want it to be my last)

idodo umeh college biology
new sch phy + all inclusive calcs in sec sch phy
understanding chem by ojokuku

Reminds me of when my sister got admitted..(just got inducted about a week ago) 100 level was easy breezy until she got to pre-clinicals.. Anatomy and biochem really did a number on her(I think she even had to resist Anatomy sef)

Personally I think pre-clinicals is the hardest part in mbbs journey. Maybe cuz students typically do well in 100 level and think it'll be that easy all the way.

But if you can scale through pre-clinicals without a glitch the rest of the journey wouldn't be that much of a problem

Legendforte:

It's not really that expensive.. Especially in federal universities

I don't think that it was easy it's just that they didn't really know what they were in for....I remember how everyone in my set were saying our second semester of 2nd year preclinical was better than the first bcs now they had better ground compared to the first.

I'm joined the thread on time

Naso I carry my high jamnb score go read Environmental that year. Funny enough, among my clique, no one wanted medicine et al, it was all about engineering or architecture.

Well I wouldn't really say that they didn't know what they were into sha.. I'll rather say it it overconfidence probably due to their good performance in 100 level.

BTW have you written your 2nd mbbs

what did u score.?

255

Wow
The textbooks are really expensive tho. Surprisingly, some of my coursemates have gone far in anatomy and physiology, though we're still in 100L.

Not yet

Well your classmates can't really say if the first or second semester is better until they have written the exams and passed.

All the same I wish you success ahead of your 2nd mbbs

What sch do you attend?

Of course, no problem
The texts I used for each subject
1. English
I used the invisible teacher. It’s the best jamb English text out there and sitting with this book will make use of English very easy for you, both jamb and putme.
I read it 4 times, front to back. So it needs your time
2. Physics
I used All Inclusive Calculations in Physics, New School Physics, lamlads physics and lots and lots of PQ. For physics, chem and bio, PQs should be your bread and butter. Solve PQs everyday after studying.
I read all texts at least 4-5 times, front to back
3. Biology
I was using essential biology, but I had to change it to Modern Biology plus lamlads bio. The latter is your best bet, but if you combine both like I did, you’re good to go!
Went over both like 3-4 times. Repetition is very powerful whilst studying
4. Chemistry
This was the subject I had my highest score in (88). The secret to it is to Combine lamlads chemistry (for calculations) and Ababio (for the theoretical aspect). Lamlads will teach you how to calculate very well, but it’s lacking in terms of explanation. Ababio is the other way around. ThTs the golden combo that worked for me
Don’t forget your PQs too

You’ll be surprised bro
I have people who have done Biochem and physio as a course and are coming back to do MBBS
It’s not child’s play, medical school is very humbling
